At the Virat Hindu Jagran Sabha, Hindu Rashtra Sena Founder and National President Dhananjay Desai propagated Savarkar’s theory on Indian identity, stating, “People whose holy places are in Arabia and the Vatican are not true Indians.” He spread the baseless conspiracy of ‘love jihad’, demonized Muslims as traitors, and warned about alleged Christian conversions in North-East India. Desai also raised alarm about supposed Bangladeshi infiltration in Maharashtra and Karnataka and claimed Muslims are conspiring to Islamize India.
